Update on Astana from Johan Bruyneel

Here is an update from Johan Bruyneel himself on what is going on with Astana

:: Johan Bruyneel:::

"Since the beginning of the year, our team has had to deal with delays in payment from Kazakhstan. Up till now the situation is that the Kazakh Cycling Federation (KCF) has only paid two months of salary to the management company that runs the team. The only explanation we get from Kazakhstan is that the sponsors aren’t paying because of the economic crisis. They say they are trying to find a solution, but for me it is unclear which action they will take."

Here was the original story.
